<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>It has been my experience that many of the people who have seen the movies, but haven't read the books, love it but for all the wrong reasons.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Yes! That drives me mad! It's even worse to hear them try and explain what <B>they</B> thought the movie was (is) about. It's pathetic. No, Gandalf is NOT related to Dumbledor! *twitch*<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I understand that it was necessacary to edit some of the scenes (Tom and Goldberry for one), but why did they have to marr Tolkiens larger than life characters? I mean, is our society so jaded that classic liturature has no place in it?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Is nothing sacred?! I see what you're saying here, <B>Elmirwen</B> (and welcome to the Downs! ), and I completely agree.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I actually think that those mock RotK script pages would truthfully have done the job!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>When I tried the link for the mock pages, it wouldn't allow me access to the page. Does someone have another link? I'm dying to read them!<P>And it's comforting to hear that Peter Jackson's favorite chapter is the Grey Havens. Since this is one of the most important (and most deffinatly among the most moving) chapters in the book, it's nice to know that it's in the hands of someone who especially loves and respects it.
